Certainly looks like one. If you are interested in drag racing at all, the pc210 diff setup is the better option, keeps more rubber on the track, and the upgrade options are limitless

The mount on the top of this pic can u show me how it attaches to the body?

ie a photo from the ground facing up?

Shock absorbers look to be in the correct position

yes it was taken from ground facing up

ok....will take the photo again later ^^

I've got a c210 2 door skyline sitting in Kalgoorlie, my mods are as follows:

R30 diff + disc brakes, brass syncro 240k gearbox 5 speed, 4 bar radiatior, Air conditioning (fitted from a later model) L280, nitrited crank, handmade timing chain, 280ZX oil pump and electric dizzy, modified inlet manifold to fit an EF falcon throttle body, Toyota crown (I think) flat top pistons, Crane Cam, ported head, (similar to the p90, but it isnt...?) Haltech F9A EFI computer, VL commadore inline Fuel pump and a Nissan Patrol (LD28) clutch.

The whole thing was ballanced prior to assembly

I put it all together with a dial micrometer setting TDC ect...

This car went like a cut snake, until the octane levels in pump super fell. She kept popping head gaskits and I got sick of replacing them, three years now the car has sat in the backyard. while I've been playing with Jaguars.

Great set of posts her, you've gotten me all nostalgic!

stil

still got the old coupe in ur back yard??? if ya want to sell her give me a yell :)

Hi all,

It's great to find some information on here about c210's. I own one with a L24 engine, I'm only the 3rd owner in the family and its done 66000 k's. In mint condition inside. I have had a bit of an accident though with the engine. My carburettors (hitachi HT405) caught fire and did some damage and trying to find parts is a nightmare. I'm looking for a fan and shroud if anyone knows where I could find them? Also in 2 minds about repairing the carburettors or going for new su's with a electronic dizzy? Fantastic car and hope to get it rolling again! :( I'll need other parts too if anyone has any good contacts? Thanks

Oh and to previous posts you can easily get the full service and repair manual (new) from rare spares in newcastle! Its about $110 and very thorough on everything!

Hey Carlos.

Lucky for you the engine is the least rare part on the C210, being common to a bunch of other models; 240c, 240z, 240k, MR30... Near all the bolt on parts are interchangeable with the L26 and the L28, and a complete L26/L28 will bolt into your car with a few small tweaks. You might find the cheapest option is to pull a complete running engine from a wreck.

Otherwise, you'll likely end up with second hand engine and engine parts from ebay/wreckers/forums, but parts to reco said engine/bits are still available through Bursons/Repco/ebay etc. I'm pretty sure complete reco'd carbys are still available on ebay too.

Twin SU's will make a big difference to power, especially when combined with an electronic distributor and extractors plus exhaust, but tuning/rebuilding them can be fairly expensive initially.

Ill have a look to see if I have a spare fan shroud.

Cheers,

Drew

Hey Guys, the front bar on my c210 is screwed, finding a replacement is harder than a needle in a haystack, more like a pube in a haystack. Any other options that will fit? Otherwise i'm tempted to make a copy from timber then make a fibreglass one from that one but have it an exact copy of the original.

hi all

nice 2 know there are still a lot of 210 enthusiasts out there

actually, this and a couple of other Australian sites on classic Skylines gave me a good lot of info on the car, so thank u guys. i've been reading for a year now, and now i felt like registering - finally - and saying hi=)

now some words 'bout me&my wheels

i come from Moscow, Russia. i've a 1979 BVC210 Skyline wagon (the early short-nose one), that's actually based in Feodosiya, Krimea (that's Ukraine now, and it's a long story why my car is another state, but, anyway... :)

the car is a pretty much stock one, except for the engine - an L18 full inj was swapped from a '81 Laurel (originally the car had L16 carb), together with front seats. a dashboard was replaced with a one from a sedan, for the sake of having a tach =) everything else is unchanged. the overal condition is ok, however 'great' roads out there do no good for suspension etc. As well, the previous owner used to smoke a lot, i mean it, so the windshield needs to be replaced - it's like foggy or weeping all the time from the inside, but its not (if anyone knows how to fight it, i'll be greatfull for any piece of advice)

the real problem now, aside from current maintenance, is taillights. These are are all in cracks and non-stock plastic patches made of pretty much anything... so, i need a pair of good taillights for the car. And so far i fail to find them. The only success was to find an orange piece for a right taillight - in Japan, for some enourmous money like 150 us dollars. So, if anyone has any clue as where i could find the taillights, that would be just great. [no, ebay doesn't have em; or i'm just blind]

well, some photos of the wagon :) dusty but pretty to me. actually, it seemes to be the only one on the whole post-USSR area...

ps actually i think i need to make a separate thread about the car - i'll do that asap i promise =) the story of how i got it and what happened next may be of quite an amusement for all u guys here =)

Welcome! Nice car you have there, quite rare. We never got the wagon in Australia, so I'm afraid very few, if any people from here will be of much use. That said, I am fairly certain the wagon was sold in Malaysia as well as Japan, so that may be the place to inquire. If you are on Facebook, try Datsun Skyline Community. They are in Malaysia. Once again, welcome to SAU Classics section!

2V8skylineMAN:

but i'm prety sure i've seen at least one short-nose wagon in Australia on some site (can't remember which, exactly... will do a search once more 2morrow). thanx for the link on Malaysian community - seen some pics of Vietnam sky's, they're awesome =) so i gues Malaysia has something to offer, too

it appears that i was wrong... that was a guy from Manila with that cute wagon whom i thought was from Australia...

anyways, there he is, with many nice pics

(i still think there's some wagon in Australia i've seen somewhere on the net...)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
